Lubrication
To help the various systems of your truck run
smoothly and extend the life time of the many critical
parts that affect performance, there is one thing that
you must do and that is:
LUBRICATE, LUBRICATE AND LUBRICATE!
Insufficient lubrication is a major cause of component
failure on all refuse vehicles. The M
INIMAX™, like most
equipment, has many points that require grease.
See the following sections for detailed lubrication
points on packer, cylinder pins, hopper door hinges
and tailgate.
Also, refer to the lubrication chart(s) located on the
side of the vehicle for a complete list of lube locations
and the frequency with which they should be greased.
Recommended Lubricants
You will find below the recommended types of
lubricants.
Grease
Any lithium-base commercial multipurpose grease
may be used.
Hydraulic Oil
All Labrie hydraulic systems are filled at the factory
with a high-quality anti-wear hydraulic fluid meeting
an ISO 32 specification. On vehicles that are used in
high ambient temperatures or that sustain high duty
cycles, it may be desirable to change the fluid to an ISO
46 specification which has higher viscosity. For
vehicles working in colder climates or performing light
duty cycles, an ISO 22 might be more appropriate. The
International Standards Organization (ISO) assigns
specification numbers in order that a consumer
receives the same product from different suppliers.
